Before the 2025 Grammys unfold, let’s take a trip down memory lane with Eminem’s unforgettable performances from past ceremonies.
Eminem has been a Grammy regular for decades, racking up 47 nominations and 15 wins. He holds six trophies for Best Rap Album, a streak that started with “The Slim Shady LP”, and he was the first artist ever to win the category three times in a row. But beyond the awards, his Grammy performances have been some of the most talked-about moments in hip hop history.
His first Grammy performance in 2001 was nothing short of legendary — performing “Stan” with Elton John in a show of unity that shut down critics. In 2003, he brought the energy with “Lose Yourself”, fresh off its “8 Mile” success. Fast forward to 2010, and Eminem joined Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem, and Travis Barker for a fiery rendition of Forever” and “Drop The World”. And in 2011, he delivered a powerful set with Dr. Dre, Skylar Grey, and Rihanna, featuring “Love the Way You Lie (Part II)” and “I Need a Doctor”.
This year, Eminem is nominated in three categories: Best Rap Album for “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” and Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video for “Houdini”. Many fans hope to see him take home another trophy, but a live performance seems unlikely. So, while we wait to see if he adds to his Grammy collection, let us relive the iconic moments he has already given us.
